Description

A kind of method that reclaims lithium and cobalt of separating from anode material of lithium battery
Technical field
The present invention relates to the processing of non-ferrous metal in waste lithium cell, relate in particular to a kind of method that reclaims lithium and cobalt of separating from anode material of lithium battery.
Background technology
The plurality of advantages such as volume is little, lightweight, specific energy is high because having for lithium battery, recycle long and without memory, be widely used in the electronic products such as notebook computer, mobile phone, digital camera and VCD.
China is largest production state and the maximum consumption state of lithium battery.The life-span of lithium battery is generally 3 years, and annual superseded waste lithium cell is hundreds of millions of.Typical metal content in the waste lithium cell positive electrode is: Co:22.31%, Li:3.74%, Ni:0.4%, Al:9.78% and Cu:7.47%.
Wherein, metallic cobalt is important strategic material.Only 470,000 tons of the explored cobalt tenors of China, and be present in cobalt mineralss mainly with the association form.The complicated occurrence state of cobalt mineralss, grade is low, and extraction process complexity and the rate of recovery are low.Therefore, exploration separating and recovering gold from existing waste and old cobalt-containing materials belongs to cobalt and seems especially important.It is reported, the battery industry cobalt consumption of China in 2007 is 6000 tons, accounts for 48% of domestic cobalt consumption figure, and cobalt is heavy metal element, and the cobalt in waste lithium cell arbitrarily abandons and will environment be caused to great harm.Therefore, how from waste lithium cell separating and recovering gold belong to cobalt and become a hot issue merited attention.
In addition, lithium metal is one of important energy source material of industrial development.The current whole world just increases with the speed in every year 5~8% demand of lithium and compound thereof.Particularly along with new-energy automobile over the years, paid attention to gradually, promoted and become the inexorable trend that substitutes orthodox car, as the output of the dynamic lithium battery of new-energy automobile " heart ", also being entered the phase of increasing rapidly.Expect 2012, the annual production of new-energy automobile will reach 1,000,000, will drive the demand of 5.2 ten thousand tons of anode material of lithium battery.The life-span of considering lithium battery is limited, and after several years, these new-energy automobile lithium batteries will progress into and eliminate the date of retirement, if the lithium in its positive electrode is arbitrarily abandoned, will cause the great wasting of resources.
Visible, from anode material of lithium battery, separating and recovering cobalt and lithium have very important Social benefit and economic benefit.
At present, from waste lithium cell, separating and recovering gold belongs to the method for cobalt and lithium and is: valuable metal is comprised to cobalt, copper and lithium all become soluble-salt and dissolve leaching from lithium battery, pass through again extraction or chemical back-and-forth method separating metal cobalt from leachate, again the lithium remained in leachate is separated to recovery subsequently.
There is following problem in the method:
(1) extraction: with organic extractant (as P204 and P507 etc.) extract and separate cobalt and lithium, exist mixed phase to carry secretly and organic extractant can extract the problem of a small amount of lithium simultaneously, when preparing the cobalt product, can cause the lithium content of cobalt product the inside higher, greatly affect the cobalt product quality;
(2) the chemo-selective precipitation method: by carbonic hydroammonium or ammonium oxalate precipitate cobalt, then dinectly bruning or thermal reduction preparing product, the final cobalt product impurity content of the method is higher, this be due to: (1) cobalt acid lithium material leachate also contains the impurity such as aluminium, copper, manganese, iron except cobalt and lithium; (2) lithium also can some precipitation; And, for the recovery of lithium, generally adopt carbonate precipitation method, but the rate of recovery of lithium generally only has 60% left and right, and purity is lower.
To sum up, at present from waste lithium cell, the method for separating and recovering cobalt and lithium can not effectively be separated cobalt with lithium, often mixes lithium in the cobalt product and causes quality to reduce, and the while rate of recovery of lithium is lower.Especially the higher waste lithium cell for lithium content, this problem is more serious.
Summary of the invention
For addressing the above problem, the present invention aims to provide a kind of method that reclaims lithium and cobalt of separating from anode material of lithium battery, and the method can guarantee that lithium and cobalt all have the higher rate of recovery and higher purity simultaneously.
